Time Warner keeps a promise: Metering begins in Beaumont
2008-06-03 16:43:00 We’re always the first to report when the cable guy actually keeps a promise, just as we criticize them when he behaves badly. This post is a first, as I am reporting for both reasons. The promised metering in Beaumont begins Thursday. On Thursday, new Time Warner Cable Internet subscribers in Beaumont, Texas, will have monthly allowances for the amount of data they upload and download. Those who go over will be charged $1 per gigabyte, a Time Warner Cable executive told the Associated Press. Metered billing is an attempt to deal fairly with Internet usage, which is very uneven among Time Warner Cable’s subscribers, said Kevin Leddy, Time Warner Cable’s executive vice president of advanced technology. Just 5 percent of the company’s subscribers take up half of the capacity on local cable lines, Leddy said. Other cable Internet service providers report a similar distribution. “We think it’s the fairest way to finance the needed investment in the in...

WSJ interviews Time Warner Cable’s CEO
2008-06-02 21:13:00 The Wall Street Journal’s Vishesh Kumar only tosses a few softballs at Time Warner Cable’s new CEO in this interview, but it does give us a feel for the managerial mindset of the newly independent company. His soon-to-be-independent Time Warner Cable will be freer to pursue broadband and telephone services. But there are challenges: in the spinoff, the company will take on an additional $10.9 billion of debt to pay a massive, one-time dividend, 84% of which will go to Time Warner. (Wall Street Journal) He continues to be outspoken on premium content going free for ad supported TVoIP delivery. We hope for the sake of his shareholders he works a bit harder on enabling TVoIP with a fat pipe than to reamin focused on the losing battle of trying to control content delivery.

Back To The Future
2008-06-02 14:05:00 Time Warner and GE goin' to The Chapel of Love? Yeah, yeah, yea-yeah-yeah. Newsweek: A goal for GE would be to avoid the huge tax bill it would incur in selling NBC Universal outright to Time Warner in a transaction valued in the tens of billions of dollars, say the sources familiar with the situation. One model for such a transaction might be the deal GE struck in 2003 to bulk up NBC by combining it with Universal, then owned by Vivendi. That combination left the French company with a hefty, though minority, 20 percent stake in NBC Universal. Under a similar scenario, Time Warner and GE could combine most, if not all, of their entertainment operations into a newly formed separate company, in which Time Warner would be the majority owner. The bet is investors would better recognize the value of a pure entertainment entity with big media brands, propelling the stocks of parent companies Time Warner and GE. And if that happens, the two Jeffs might just live out their corporate car...

WiMAX podría despegar definitivamente
2008-05-07 13:24:00 La creación de un nuevo consorcio de grandes compañías para impulsar esta tecnología con una inversión inicial de 3.200 millones de dólares podría suponer al fin el despliegue masivo de redes WiMAX, algo que llevábamos años esperando.Lo más importante de este consorcio es que ha unido los esfuerzos de empresas de Internet, operadoras de telefonía y de cable que sobre el papel son rivales irreconciliables. Es el caso de Verizon Wireless y de AT&T, que ya están comenzando a esbozar el plan de implantación de la tecnología.No son las únicas: en esta nueva empresa también participan firmas tan importantes como Sprint Nextel, Clearwire, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Google, y por supuesto, Intel, la principal responsable del desarrollo de esta tecnología. La inversión de todas ellas ha sido muy importante: Comcast ha aportado 1.050 millones de dólares, Intel 1.000 millones, Google 500 millones, o Time Warner 550 millones, con otras empresas con menos participación, pero lo cierto es q...

SPRINT, CLEARWIRE SET TO ANNOUNCE $12B WIMAX DEAL WITH COMCAST, TIME WARNER
2008-05-07 02:14:00 Filed under: Wireless We've definitely heard this one before, but the buzz around a proposed $12B WiMAX partnership between Sprint, Clearwire, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Intel, and Google is deafening right now, all based on a report in the Wall Street Journal. The plan is for Sprint to merge its XOHM wireless broadband division with Clearwire, and then take a total of $3.2B in investments from a host of other players: $1.05B from Comcast, $1B from Intel, $550M from Time Warner Cable, $500M from Google, and $100M from Bright House. The resulting company will be worth some $12B, and the WSJ says investors have given their final approval for the deal -- a rumor we've already heard with no meaningful result, so take it with a grain of salt. Or a whole salt lick, actually. We're not certain why Big Cable is so eager to dump money on Sprint after two previous ventures both folded recently, but if this goes down, it's a pretty big boost for WiMAX, which was looking pretty sickly late...

The channels provided includes top rated channel such as ESPN, Discovery Channel, ShowTime, HBO, Cinemax and many more. You can have these channels very cheap, as low as $39.99 per month. You can get the clearest picture using Time Warner HDTV with an HD receiver. Second, you can get cheap high speed internet access. If you want you can choose packages which offered by the company to get these two products. If you choose Time Warner DSL in...

U.S. STOCKS - Market rises on Disney, Time Warner results
2008-02-07 13:16:00 By Ellis Mnyandu NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks rose on Wednesday as encouraging profits from Walt Disney Co and Time Warner Inc reassured investors that earnings growth outside the financial sector remained strong. The market also got a boost from a report that showed U.S. productivity in the fourth quarter rose at a stronger-than-expected pace and growth in labor costs, an inflation measure, was restrained. Shares of Disney jumped more than 4 percent, making the media and entertainment company the Dow's biggest gainer.
